Then select the next number (from 2-9) and repeat the same process. | RESPONSE BY DOROThe Response button alerts an unlimited number of family and friend ‘Responders’ simultaneously, when pressed, that the Doro user requires assistance and are shown his/her location. They can easily accept the alert and talk to the senior directly via a call which is automatically put on speakerphone for the Doro user. Responders simply need to download the app and set up the account inviting the Senior Doro user to connect with them. Within the Response by Doro app, users are also able to help manage settings such as screen brightness or call volume. | GPS POSITIONINGOnce you have set up the Response by Doro app, your instant position can be seen by your ‘responders’.

Ideal for older person who is not very tech savvy to set up. Large buttons good for stiff fingers. Battery life on standby is very good.
Bought for my father who is in his 80s and is very hard of hearing and he confirms that the sound quality is very good and he can hear callers with much greater clarity. The battery life is good and the layout of the phone is clear and simple to use. My father only uses the phone for calling and texting so this provides everything he needs but with a 4G compatible phone so no problems with using the phone in the future. The texting process has taken a bit of time to get used to but otherwise fine. We have received helpful assistance from the Doro team, who have sent full instructions and a 2 year guarantee, so a great phone and a good customer service experience too.
My husband had a smart phone but didn’t have the touch to be able to scroll etc so this phone really fits the bill.
This phone was bought for my husband who is deaf. The setting for hearing aid users does make the sound louder but it still is hard for my husband to make calls . It is neat to handle but I still have to do the texting
Brought for a friend who has severe arthritis and is unable to use a smart phone. She found this one easy to use and she is able to hold it.
Great little phone for my elderly mum. Easy to set up and use.
I had expected to be able to put my photos on to my computer ready to print. DISAPOINTED
This flip phone is easy to use as I suffer with Parkinsons and my tremors make touch screens difficult to operate.
Super little flip-up phone, the only negative is that it’s heavy but one assumes that all the weight is necessary for the longer-life battery and the extra screen on the outside.
We bought this as a replacement for my elderly Dad. It is so simple to use with its larger keys and its bright, clear screen also makes reading his messages much easier too.
After years of protests claiming, “Argh i don’t need that Internet thingy” he is loving the fact he can now video call the family and at 77 is finally learning how to surf the web on his new favourite thing.
The option of using the charging cradle is another great feature making it so much easier for him to charge his phone, no more fiddling with wires.
Another great feature he finds very useful is the closed phone display. Now he has constant easy access to the time and the date.
Lastly we would like to mention how sturdy and stylish this is.
Well done Doro this is a great little phone!
I love the clear easy to read print on the screen , the easy to understand the basic , phone /messages/ etc the sound is clear and volume good . Getting my email on to it NOT so easy ,(still to be fully installed ) . Like the ring tones . Photo side not used yet. I have no need of lots of apps , so suits me very well .
I did not buy this for a senior. I am in my 30s and purchased this phone purely for the fact that after deleting apps, turning off notifications, trying to not look at my phone in the morning and watching The Social Dilemma, I came to the devastating realization that i’m addicted to my smartphone and the only way to break it was to get rid of my smartphone. It was only whatsapp that kept me with a smartphone due to family abroad and I have loved the Doro so far. The one downer for me is the external display has no option to turn off notifications, would be nice in future models to have this option as I don’t want to see a reminder I have a notification as the urge to stop what I’m doing and look at it is distraction. A model specifically designed for people like me, anti-smartphone not due to difficulty with technology or age but by choice of wanting to be off social media and a little bit more freedom from smartphones would be amazing as the Doro is almost perfect for this role apart from the notifications thing and not having a GPS map system like google maps. And if you’re like me and been considering retuning to a brickphone or going phoneless, honestly so far this has been the best phone for our aim of unplugging
Got it to replace the 6060 which I returned when I realised that 2G networks were about to be phased out ( vod and ee in 2025 )
It was bought as a backup to iphone – just to do calls to selected people.
Fairly easy to set up – I ignored the “apps”. If I wanted those I would just set a standard android with a long battery life and put on a “simplified ” skin.
Only comment so far is that it seems to be as user friendly as the 6060 but is a 4g device.
Battery life on standby after conditioning the battery with just a couple of charge- discharge cycles is about 3 days 100 to 25% – connected to 4g. Would have preferred longer but it has a smallish battery and it is on 4g not 2g.
Edit now lasting 6-7 days on standby from full to 25% do maybe 8 days battery life – pretty good
Bought this phone as a present for an 80 yr old. He took a little while getting use to it but now he thinks it’s great.
Bought for partner as she will only have a clamshell phone, finds it difficult to text as she has great difficulty with predicted text and can only switch of when you are messaging the comes back on for next message, she will not text.
Does what it says, quick, responsive, better than my older one.
To delete Predictive Text, go to Settings>System>Languages and Input>Predictive Text disabled by pressing OK.
Bought for elderly woman. She finds it very easy to use. Especially when answering on opening the phone and ending call by closing it.
Great phone and easy to use I am very happy with it buy still struggle a little with it.
My Mum is useless with technology but even she can work this phone. Pod quality and a fair price.
Bought for my mother. Good phone and easy to set up and use
